I never understand the criticism Mikey got for that shyt. Dude was winning big and prolly didn't wanna risk any possible damage to himself.

Alexander in the Bradley fight was worst.
im saying..mikey should have at least "acted" like he was bout it..let robert play that role as trainer..thats just me though

I talked to Rigo and some of his people yesterday and got a lot of good info.

He said he's willing to fight anyone at any weight from 118 up to 126 and anything to the contrary is pure bullshyt. He said he'd beat the shyt out of Chocolatito and he'd go to 118 to do it. Said he would've loved to fight Loma, but he's moving up in weight too fast and it looks like Top Rank wants Loma at 140 soon.

And apparently Donaire's people reached out for a rematch, and that could happen if they can't get Rey Flores or Oguni after his mandatory. He said he's going to ramp up his activity and could be fighting 3 to 4 times a year now, and was on pace to do so, if his previous opponents didn't pull out of the fights.

He volunteered that he's going to change his fight style and look for more KOs now, because he understands he needs to be more exciting and he has the power to hurt guys. He said they just disengage once they feel his power. :banderas:

Also, for all the Leo Santa Cruz fans, Rigo said he stepped to him at some event a few years ago and asked to fight him, and LSC's response is that he'd loved to do it...but his dad won't let him. :russ:

He also told me about his teenage son, 15 I think he said, who's a 3 time National boxing champ in Cuba at 140 lbs, but is being blackballed from the Olympic team because he's on a "potential defector" watch list. shyt is crazy.

Dont know about the bolded, but the rest of the info is very good, just hope Rigo is lying about trying to press for KO's.

Yep it looked like he took an easy way out when the pressure was ramping up.
I don't believe he was doing that, I think Robert was saying fukk this shyt we got an out lets get out of here asap without taking more cuts and shyt.

I feel you though breh. The boxer should always think "Box" first and let the corner deal with all that other shyt.

I just think he panicked due to the situation.

These lil nikkas get too much credit for moving up when the next division up is 4 god damn pounds :comeon:


Champ in 4 weight classes N the nikka moved up a total of 12 pounds :hhh:

If they fighting good fighters I think they deserve some credit, but just to be collecting belts that shyt even more lame than when the bigger nikkas do it.

In all honesty they could do away with a straw/minimum weight division.
nikkas be getting an extra chance at a belt for starting that low only to physically grow into 108 and 112 divisions anyway. :mindblown:

I swear I was gonna use this to bash Chocolito in my next rant against these Toy Boxers:russ:



Tired of hearing about them being "multiple division Champs" like a move from 112-118 aint 3 divisions within only a 6 pound radius :dead:

I'm not even trying to bash these lil nikkas like that. :mjlol:

Roman Gonzalez has clearly been the best of them 4th graders for a hot minute so he deserves props for that. I think all those lil belts, helps even shyt out for them since most of the media and fans wouldn't pay attention to them nikkas unless they became a champ in the 1st place. Let alone a champ in different divisions.

Only the cream rise to the top at them weights. I fukked with Mark Too Sharp Johnson and he was elite, but never got the love Roman getting now.

But yeah at the end of the day, jumping a division don't mean much unless its at least a 5 pound jump.

going from 105 to 108 is just :what: to me.

Yeah but those tiny jumps at those low weight divisions are a big difference physically.
